Four mates (Darrin Drugan, Steve Kasan, Samuel Lin, Satheesan
Negenthiram), plenty of beer, even more weed, and a healthy diet of
zombie-based movies and videogames - all this results in making pretty
good plans for the event of the zombie apocalypse, which their drug-addled
brains are sure is just around the corner. But once they leave their
basement they notice their plans have been overtaken by reality, and the
zombies are on their way to overrun the world ... For people
into zombie entertainment in conjunction with beer and/or weed, this short
will make perfect sense, and they'll probably recognize some of the
conversation in the film from their own get-together with their mates and
probably have a pretty good laugh because of this - but this isn't a flick
just for genre fans but one with more universal appeal thanks to its
decidedly un-serious approach, its jokes that seem universal despite their
topicality, and the characters, despite being total slobs, are fully
relatable and in a weird way likeable. So definitely worth a look! That
said, Wasted was never conceptualized as a standalone short but the
premise for a possible feature film that's currently competing in the CineCoup
2015-challenge - http://www.cinecoup.com/wasted/
- and I for one would love to see what ouor stoner heroes do to make it
alive through zombie galore ...
